When the ianitor of the Lime Kiln club
opened the doors Of Paradise hall on Satur-
day evening to make ready for the regular
weekly meeting he found evidences OF
another attempt on the part OF unknown
-scoundrels to wreck and destroy the head
Quarters of the club. This is the thirteenth
attempt in six years 10 W ipe out Paradise
hall, and in no case has any clew been found
to lead to the guilty wretches. In the
present instance il appeared that they
effected entrance by one of the alley win
,iows in the library With spite born OF
lifetime of degradation, the tiends tore up and
DESTROYED 2S5 almanacs of the date of 1850,
and twenty two annual reports OF as many
state prisons. They then knocked plaster
bust of Washington into the middle of last
week, broke the sacred sword OF Bunker
Hill in two, and spilled pint Of milk over
some manuscripts relating to the glacial
epoch. They then entered the main hall,
poured kerosene over Brother Gardner :
desk, and would doubtless have started a
.confiacration had not some alarm driven
them off.
The janitor had both bear traps and two
spring guns set, but the fellows seemed to
know where danger lurked and avoided it.
The only thing which may furnish clue is
the fact that two white men were seen in
the alley the evening previous, and one OF
them was noticed to have limp in his gait.
The club will pay so for the arrest Of
every white man III the country who hmps,
and 800 if he Is convicted Of this dastardly
destruction. n.-Uetroit Free Press.

Miss Van Zandt's Paralysis.

The particular form Of paralysis with
which she was afflicted and from which she
is now only just recovering, is, am told,
by no means uncommon in Russia, being of
a nervous type and caused by the extreme
cold. In fact, among her fellow patients at
Wndbad last summer was young Russian
lady who was afflicted in the same manner,
but whose malady yielded readily to treat
ment. and before the season was over she was
dancing at the balls Of the Casino The
absence of shoes in the "MignOn" costume
worn by Miss Van Zandt is the cause TO
which she attributes all her illness. The last
night that she played the part in Moscow
she was conscious of rush of intensely cold
air, like stream of half frozen water, pass
ing over her feet, the upper part Of which
was only protected by flesh colored silk
stockings. The next morning, when she
attempted to rise from her bed, she fell pros
trate, that moment being the commencement
of her long and trying sickness.-Paris Cor.

Genrre Frnnci, Trnln., Autogrsph.

As little James Theus Munds, a 5-year-
obi North Carolina boy, was passing through
Madison square day or two since, he was
toown George Francis Train occupying his
accustomed seat in the park. The child
walked up to him and was soon sitting in
uis lap talking as contidentially as though
they were old friends. Train called up a
lively little girl and. placing her hand in
the boys made quite a howery speech about
the north and south shaking hands, all OF
which sentiment drew a crowd around the
children in a few minutes. Train then
took from his pocket an enevlope upon
which he wrote the following: This auto
graph will sill for $40 in ten years, - and
signing his name in full, George Francis

boy, who doubtless, the longer he has IL the

Gen. Custer. "a Brother Tom -

Mrs Custer thus relates how her husband,

up his studies, interrupted by his early enlist

himself school books and pored over them
with patiencr in the evenings. He seemed
to have come thrcugh unscathed BY the
coarseness Of his surroundings as an enlisted

was often in the ranks, there was q large

An interesting insight into the camp life

Karl Won Rothschild was indignant and de-
manded: Does your excellency realize the

excellency ever seen q rrilhon of money"
The general was nonplusrd, as indeed he had
never seen such sum at once, and TO get
out Of the pickle he altogether remitted the
contribution. Frankfort thereafter always
considered Rothschild "a bigger man" than

iey's career as minister he asked to be pre-
sented at court, and although he was then n
senator Of the United States and personal
friend OF Gen. Grant, Minister Motley re-
fused to do il. His refusal was grounded
on what he held should be the personal re-
finement and culture Of the Americans
selected for the high honor Of bowling before
the queen. Zach Chambers grammar was
uneven, his speech marked BY the many
idioms of self made westcrners, and his man.
ners had not the grace and polish that Mr..
Motley considered Indispensable. This re-
fusal to present at court, being all in the same
political party, as it were, did not attain
the publicity of the Phelps Rice incident of
the last summer, but it doubtless led TO the
downfall of Mr.. Motley quite as much as
anything that Gen. Badeau has related in
his recent chapters on the historical diplomat.
